The box must be appropriately labeled and taken to a UPS Customer Center, not a USP Store, or through a UPS Scheduled Pickup Account https://www.ups.com/us/en/support/s...s-materials-guide/how-to-ship-ammunition You can also ship with FedEx Ground but there is a pre-approval process More here https://www.easypost.com/blog/2025-05-07-how-to-ship-ammo https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

You will need to put them in a strong cardboard box and apply a hazmat label. Hazmat labels can be bought on line, but I just found them on line and saved them to my hard drive and printed them out on my home printer. Just tape them to the cardboard box and you are good to go. foxes rule

Any advice shipping these by the box and flat? Ship USPS? Regulations? Go to BPI's website. Read their instructions for shipping ammunition to them for testing. Copy their Haz Mat label, provided for that purpose. I have always used Fed Ex Ground (You must specify ground shipping with any carrier). They just happened to have a friendly counter at my last address. UPS or Speedee should work just as well if they have good counter workers. USPS is out, as noted above. _________ BrentD, (Professor - just for Stan) =>/
